ANTICS
Bug-Byte 1984

CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston, Cursor
---------------------------------------------------------------------
AIM : Boris the Bee has been kidnapped by the local ants and locked
away inside their nest. His cousin Barnabee (what else?) has however
decided to come to his rescue. It's your job to guide him around the
maze of the ants' nest.

GAMEPLAY : Barnabee starts off above ground and must fly to the ants'
nest, avoiding the blue birds which kill on contact. Within the nest
he must discover Boris' whereabouts and lead his cousin back out of
the nest. Boris will follow Barnabee if the two bees are close enough,
but Boris has been weakened by his ordeal and so will only follow
slowly.

Within the nest are lots of ants (as you would expect) and beetles;
contact with these will sap Barnabee's strength, but visiting the
flowers in the nest will allow him to regain energy. Some flowers
also have the property of opening up walls in the maze when they are
visited - the wall may not necessarily be on the current screen. In
some mazes the walls are weak and will collapse as Barnabee touches
them. There are also energy-sapping thorns embedded in the walls of
the mazes.

COMMENTS : "Original, playable and addictive ... highly recommended."
RATING : 90% (CRASH #6, July 1984)

NOW : A simple but fairly enjoyable maze game. Just don't expect too
much from it!
